Never give out identifying information such as Name, Home, Address, School Name，or Telephone Number in a public message such as at a chat room or on bulletin boards. Never send a person a picture of you without first checking with your parents.
Never reply to message or bulletin board items that are: Suggestive/Obscene(下流的)/Ready to fight/Express intention to hurt/Make you feel uncomfortable.
Be careful when someone offers something for nothing, such as gifts or money. Be very careful about any offers that get you to meet or have someone visit your house.
Tell your parents right away if you come across any information that makes you feel uncomfortable.
Never arrange a face?to?face meeting without telling your parents. If your parents agree to the meeting, make sure that you meet in a public place and have a parent with you. Since you can't hear the person，it would be easy for someone to misrepresent himself or herself. Thus someone who says that “She is a 12?year?old girl” could really be an old man.
Be sure that you are dealing with somone that you and your parents know and trust before giving out any personal information about yourself through E?mail.
Get to know your “online friends” just as you get to know all of your friends.

According to the dictionary definition of “create”， ordinary people are creative every day. To create means “to bring into being，to cause to exist” — something each of us does daily.
We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First this involves an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our sense to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture, as well as taste, when we plan a meal.
Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss. A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression, “There is nothing new under the sun. ” the creativity is remaking or recombining the old in new ways. For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture，or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph. A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to apply them to achieve some new results. To think up a new concept is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.
These three parts of creativity are involved in all the great works of genius, but they are also involved in many of our day－to－day activities.
4．Which of the following activities is not a creative one according to the passage
A．To prepare a meal.
B．To arrange the furniture in a peculiar way.
C．To buy some books from a bookstore.
D．To “write” a letter with the computer.
5．The author holds that ______.
A．creativity is of highly demand
B．creativity is connected with a deep insight to some extent
C．creativity is to create something new and concrete
D．to practice and practice is the only way to cultivate one's creativity
6．“There is nothing new under the sun. ”(Part 3)really implies that ______.
A．we can seldom create new things
B．a new thing is only a tale
C．a new thing can only be created at the basis of original things
D．we can scarcely see really new things in the world
7．The best title for this passage is ______.
A．How to Cultivate One's Creativity
B．What is Creativity
C．the Importance of Creativity
D．Creativity — a Not Faraway Thing
C
If you look for a book as a present for a child, you will be spoiled for choice even in a year where there is no new Harry Potter. J. K Rowling's wizard is not alone: the past decade has been a harvest for good children's books, which has set off a large quantity of films and in turn led to increased sales of classics such as The Lord of the Rings.
Yet despite that, reading is increasingly unpopular among children. According to statistics, in 1997, 23% said they didn't like reading at all. In 2003, 35% did. And around 6% of children leave primary school each year unable to read properly.
Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability of computer games. Maybe the books boom has affected only the top of the educational pile. Either way, Chancellor Gordon Brown plans to change things for the bottom of the class. In his pre?budget report, he announced the national project of Reading Recovery to help the children struggling most.
Reading Recovery is aimed at six?year?olds, who receive four months of individual daily half?hour classes with a specially trained teacher. An evaluation earlier this year reported that children on the scheme made 20 months' progress in just one year，whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months' progress, and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age.
International research tends to find that when British children leave primary school they read well, but read less often for fun than those elsewhere. Reading for fun matters because children who are keen on reading can expect lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator of future educational success. According to the OECD, being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage.
8. Which of the following is true of Paragraph 1
A. Many children's books have been adapted from films.
B. Many high?quality children's books have been published.
C. The sales of classics have led to the popularity of films.
D. The sales of presents for children have increased.
9. Statistics suggested that______.
A. the number of top students increased with the use of computers
B. a decreasing number of children showed interest in reading
C. a minority of primary school children read properly
D. a large percentage of children read regularly
10. What do we know about Reading Recovery
A. An evaluation of it will be made sometime this year.
B. Weak readers on the project were the most hardworking.
C. It aims to train special teachers to help children with reading.
D. Children on the project showed noticeable progress in reading.
11. The aim of this text would probably be______.
A. to overcome primary school pupils' reading difficulty
B. to encourage the publication of more children's books
C. to remind children of the importance of reading for fun
D. to introduce a way to improve early childhood reading
D
I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here's what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion(提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(休闲), it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an email. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It_is_so_easy_to_exist_instead_of_to_live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and tried to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion(激情) as it ought to be lived.
12. The best title for this passage probably is______.
A．Love your friends
B．Live a real life
C．Don't waste time
D．Be a good mother and wife
13. How did the author form her view of life
A. Through social experience.
B. By learning from her friends.
C. Through an unfortunate experience.
D. From her children and husband.
14. By the underlined sentence “It is so easy to exist instead of to live. ” in the fifth paragraph, the author really means that people tend to______.
A. make a living rather than live a real life
B. work rather than enjoy life
C. waste a lot in life
D. forget the most important lessons in life
15. What's the author's attitude toward work
A. Do it well to serve others.
B. Earn enough money to make life better.
C. Try your best to get higher position and pay.
D. Don't let it affect your real life.
第二节：(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Just like the United States, Britain is divided into different areas. Britain is one of the most diverse nations in Europe. __16__ With such a various culture，adapting to it can be a challenge for anyone. Following these steps should be of great help to you.
__17__ Many of the long formed stereotypes(老套) simply have nothing to do with Britain today. Don't think that everyone enjoys drinking tea or beer. Abandoning some old ideas of people and culture will allow you to be more open－minded and easily get into the culture.
Understand the differences. Britain is made up of different regions that have their different traditions and languages. __18__
Get used to small spaces. The US is a huge country where people are used to bigger cars, houses and spaces. __19__ Houses, apartments and cars are all smaller than you are used to, so trying to become familiar with smaller areas is very necessary.
Be polite. Always apologize for knocking into someone, even if it was their fault. Respect people's personal space and always wait in line. Bill Brysons' book Notes from a small island is filled with many useful tips.
Accept the jokes. __20__ Kidding，teasing，or “taking the mick” are all ways to describe making fun of someone but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Playing tricks on someone is a common way to show affection. As Britons usually put it，“you never make fun of someone you don't like.”
A．Forget the stereotypes
B．Understanding different cultures will help you avoid making mistakes.
C．One of the most confusing aspects of British culture is humour.
D．It is separated from the European continent by the Channel.
E．It has over 250 different languages being spoken in London alone.
F．Unlike the US, Britain does not have the luxury of space.
G．Many people think it impolite to make fun of others.

参考答案与解析：
第一部分 阅读理解(共两节)
第一节：
A篇1．解析：从文章的内容和文章叙述的语气来看，答案应该选D项。
答案：D
2．解析：根据第五段内容，尤其是该段最后一句话，不难猜测出misrepresent的含义为“误传，不如实地叙述”。
答案：C
3．解析：作者并不反对交网友，但一定要“Get to know your ‘online friends’ just as you get to know all of your friends.”。
答案：B
B篇4．解析：细节推理题。由第一段可知，创造力的含义是“使事物产生”“致使事物存在”。A项“做饭”具有创造性；B项为创造力第二方面详述中的例子，也是创造活动。C项只是一种简单的行为，不涉及创造性。D项也为创造性活动。
答案：C
5．解析：细节推理题。A项虽然被提及，但根据文章开头，可知平凡人每天都在创造。B项“创造力在一定程度上取决于非凡的洞察力”。由最后一段，可知这是一种“天赋”，故正确。选项C认为“创造力只体现在创造某些新的具体东西”，表述片面。根据“These three parts of creativity are involved in all the great works of genius, but they are also involved in many of our day－to－day activities.”可知D项“不断实践是培养创造力的唯一方面”，也是不全面的。
答案：B
6．解析：主旨大意题。题干是“任何新事物的产生都是建立在原有事物基础之上的”。据此，C项“只有在原有事物基础之上才能创造新事物”，是分析得出的结论。
答案：C
7．解析：主旨大意题。文章主旨是创造力的含义及其三个方面的表现。A项意为“如何培养创造力”，但文章在最后一段才提到了培养创造力三个方面的途径和要求。B项“什么是创造力”。C项“创造力的重要性”，文章没有提及。D项“创造力——并不遥远的事物”，只是在文章开头提到，中间涉及一点，也不确切。故B项为正确答案。
答案：B
C篇8．解析：细节题。由文章第一段第二句“the past decade has been a harvest for good children's books(过去十年是孩子们书籍的大丰收)”得出答案。
答案：B
9．解析：推理题。由文章第二段的统计数字可得出答案。
答案：B
10．解析：推理题。由文章倒数第二段第二句“今年的评估报告表明仅在一年内从事这项工程的儿童就取得了20个月的进步，而类似的读者在未经帮助的情况下取得仅五个月的进步”可以得出答案。
答案：D
11．解析：主旨题。文章先讲孩子们有大量的优秀书籍可读，接下来讲学生的阅读兴趣却在下降，然后提出了一项针对此现象的工程，并重点讲其效果显著以及对今后的影响，从而我们可以得知文章的目的所在。
答案：D
D篇12．解析：文章标题题。文章第三段为中心段，从Get a life. A real life及全文内容可推断出答案。
答案：B
13．解析：推断题。根据全文尤其是开头的两段和第五段可判断选项C正确。
答案：C
14．解析：句意理解题。根据exist(生存)和live(过生活)可知句子的意义为“只求生存而不是真正过生活，是何等容易”。
答案：A
15．解析：细节理解题。根据句子Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion(提升)，the bigger paycheck, the larger house.可知作者对待工作的态度。

What Will Life Be Like in the Future
I often dream about the life in the future. What will it be like Perhaps we will be able to live on the moon. And some will live under the sea. It will be very common to do shopping and see a doctor at home by Internet. There'll be many more kinds of TV programmes for us to choose from. More children will choose to study at home on the computer. Robots will do housework for you if we don't want to. We'll have healthier foods. Pollution will get controlled. Both water and the sky will become clearer. People will have more free time. They will be able to go to other stars on holiday. They will even live with people from other stars.

D
I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here's what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion(提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(休闲), it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an email. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It_is_so_easy_to_exist_instead_of_to_live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and tried to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion(激情) as it ought to be lived.
12. The best title for this passage probably is______.
A．Love your friends
B．Live a real life
C．Don't waste time
D．Be a good mother and wife
13. How did the author form her view of life
A. Through social experience.
B. By learning from her friends.
C. Through an unfortunate experience.
D. From her children and husband.
14. By the underlined sentence “It is so easy to exist instead of to live. ” in the fifth paragraph, the author really means that people tend to______.
A. make a living rather than live a real life
B. work rather than enjoy life
C. waste a lot in life
D. forget the most important lessons in life
15. What's the author's attitude toward work
A. Do it well to serve others.
B. Earn enough money to make life better.
C. Try your best to get higher position and pay.
D. Don't let it affect your real life.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Just like the United States, Britain is divided into different areas. Britain is one of the most diverse nations in Europe. __16__ With such a various culture，adapting to it can be a challenge for anyone. Following these steps should be of great help to you.
__17__ Many of the long formed stereotypes(老套) simply have nothing to do with Britain today. Don't think that everyone enjoys drinking tea or beer. Abandoning some old ideas of people and culture will allow you to be more open－minded and easily get into the culture.
Understand the differences. Britain is made up of different regions that have their different traditions and languages. __18__
Get used to small spaces. The US is a huge country where people are used to bigger cars, houses and spaces. __19__ Houses, apartments and cars are all smaller than you are used to, so trying to become familiar with smaller areas is very necessary.
Be polite. Always apologize for knocking into someone, even if it was their fault. Respect people's personal space and always wait in line. Bill Brysons' book Notes from a small island is filled with many useful tips.
Accept the jokes. __20__ Kidding，teasing，or “taking the mick” are all ways to describe making fun of someone but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Playing tricks on someone is a common way to show affection. As Britons usually put it，“you never make fun of someone you don't like.”
A．Forget the stereotypes
B．Understanding different cultures will help you avoid making mistakes.
C．One of the most confusing aspects of British culture is humour.
D．It is separated from the European continent by the Channel.
E．It has over 250 different languages being spoken in London alone.
F．Unlike the US, Britain does not have the luxury of space.
G．Many people think it impolite to make fun of others.

参考答案与解析：
第一部分 阅读理解(共两节)
第一节：
A篇1．解析：从文章的内容和文章叙述的语气来看，答案应该选D项。
答案：D
2．解析：根据第五段内容，尤其是该段最后一句话，不难猜测出misrepresent的含义为“误传，不如实地叙述”。
答案：C
3．解析：作者并不反对交网友，但一定要“Get to know your ‘online friends’ just as you get to know all of your friends.”。
答案：B
B篇4．解析：细节推理题。由第一段可知，创造力的含义是“使事物产生”“致使事物存在”。A项“做饭”具有创造性；B项为创造力第二方面详述中的例子，也是创造活动。C项只是一种简单的行为，不涉及创造性。D项也为创造性活动。
答案：C
5．解析：细节推理题。A项虽然被提及，但根据文章开头，可知平凡人每天都在创造。B项“创造力在一定程度上取决于非凡的洞察力”。由最后一段，可知这是一种“天赋”，故正确。选项C认为“创造力只体现在创造某些新的具体东西”，表述片面。根据“These three parts of creativity are involved in all the great works of genius, but they are also involved in many of our day－to－day activities.”可知D项“不断实践是培养创造力的唯一方面”，也是不全面的。
答案：B
6．解析：主旨大意题。题干是“任何新事物的产生都是建立在原有事物基础之上的”。据此，C项“只有在原有事物基础之上才能创造新事物”，是分析得出的结论。
答案：C
7．解析：主旨大意题。文章主旨是创造力的含义及其三个方面的表现。A项意为“如何培养创造力”，但文章在最后一段才提到了培养创造力三个方面的途径和要求。B项“什么是创造力”。C项“创造力的重要性”，文章没有提及。D项“创造力——并不遥远的事物”，只是在文章开头提到，中间涉及一点，也不确切。故B项为正确答案。
答案：B
C篇8．解析：细节题。由文章第一段第二句“the past decade has been a harvest for good children's books(过去十年是孩子们书籍的大丰收)”得出答案。
答案：B
9．解析：推理题。由文章第二段的统计数字可得出答案。
答案：B
10．解析：推理题。由文章倒数第二段第二句“今年的评估报告表明仅在一年内从事这项工程的儿童就取得了20个月的进步，而类似的读者在未经帮助的情况下取得仅五个月的进步”可以得出答案。
答案：D
11．解析：主旨题。文章先讲孩子们有大量的优秀书籍可读，接下来讲学生的阅读兴趣却在下降，然后提出了一项针对此现象的工程，并重点讲其效果显著以及对今后的影响，从而我们可以得知文章的目的所在。
答案：D
D篇12．解析：文章标题题。文章第三段为中心段，从Get a life. A real life及全文内容可推断出答案。
答案：B
13．解析：推断题。根据全文尤其是开头的两段和第五段可判断选项C正确。
答案：C
14．解析：句意理解题。根据exist(生存)和live(过生活)可知句子的意义为“只求生存而不是真正过生活，是何等容易”。
答案：A
15．解析：细节理解题。根据句子Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion(提升)，the bigger paycheck, the larger house.可知作者对待工作的态度。
答案：D

What Will Life Be Like in the Future
I often dream about the life in the future. What will it be like Perhaps we will be able to live on the moon. And some will live under the sea. It will be very common to do shopping and see a doctor at home by Internet. There'll be many more kinds of TV programmes for us to choose from. More children will choose to study at home on the computer. Robots will do housework for you if we don't want to. We'll have healthier foods. Pollution will get controlled. Both water and the sky will become clearer. People will have more free time. They will be able to go to other stars on holiday. They will even live with people from other stars.
